摘要:
A device for thermally treating semiconductor wafers having at least one silicon layer to be oxidized and a metal layer, preferably a tungsten layer, which is not to be oxidized. The inventive device comprises the following: at least one radiation source; a treatment chamber receiving the substrate, with at least one wall part located adjacent to the radiation sources and which is substantially transparent for the radiation of said radiation source; and at least one cover plate between the substrate and the wall part of the treatment chamber located adjacent to the radiation sources, the dimensions of said cover plate being selected such that it fully covers the transparent wall part of the treatment chamber in relation to the substrate in order to prevent material, comprising a metal, metal oxide or metal hydroxide such as tungsten, tungsten oxide or tungsten hydroxide, from said substrate from becoming deposited on or evaporating onto the transparent wall part of the treatment chamber.

摘要:
During a selective oxidation of gate structures that includes a polycrystalline silicon layer and a tungsten layer, which is known per se, a vapor deposition of tungsten oxide is prevented or at least greatly reduced by a special process. The gate structure is acted on by a hydrogen-containing, nonaqueous inert gas before and, if appropriate, after a treatment step with a hydrogen/water mixture.

A method of fabricating an integrated device on a substrate with an exposed surface region is disclosed. One embodiment provides introducing a first component into the exposed surface region of the substrate. A material is provided on the exposed surface region. The material on the exposed surface region is cured and the first component release from the exposed surface region of the substrate.
摘要:
In a method of forming an insulating layer on a silicon substrate, the silicon substrate is arranged inside a process chamber. An oxide layer is formed on the substrate's surface. An electrical field is applied and an oxygen particles containing plasma is provided above the substrate's surface. The electrical field accelerates the oxygen particles in the direction of the surface so that the oxygen particles penetrate inside the substrate and form said oxide layer. Thereafter, the stoichiometry of the oxide layer is modified. A nitrogen particles containing plasma is provided above the substrate's surface. The electrical field accelerates the nitrogen particles in the direction of the surface so that the nitrogen particles penetrate inside the oxide layer and modify the stoichiometry of the oxide layer. The step of forming the oxide layer and the step of modifying the stoichiometry are carried out inside the same process chamber.
